Preparing this weekend for an interview next week?

Sadly, despite all the advice available to them, many, many interviewees still disappoint their interviewers. Some of this is down to the interviewer: poor job specification, poor initial screening and so on. But if you are an interviewee, ask yourself the question: if your life depended on being successful at this interview would you, could you have prepared more? Would you look smarter, would you have more enthusiasm and better questions?  Would you have researched the company more? Would you have role-played the tough questions you might get with a good friend?  You have probably answered yes. Well here’s the interesting thing: your life does depend on it. The quality of life you eventually get depends significantly on the quality of the job you accept. A couple of extra hours work at this stage and even a missed episode of Grey’s Anatomy or The Shield will save possible hours of pain every day in a job which is simply not you, even though it does pay the rent. If you decide to accept an interview, prepare as if your Life depended on it. It does.

Just a thought.
